The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #5

Against a blazing golden moon, Shang-Chi — billed right on the cover as "The Mightiest Martial-Arts Master of All" — stands fierce and battle-ready in his red training suit, deflecting a barrage of razor-sharp shuriken that explode around him from every direction. Bob Larkin's painted cover crackles with kinetic energy, capturing Marvel's premier kung fu hero mid-combat with real intensity. Rounding out this October 1974 magazine-format package is an offbeat bonus feature on Samurai in the cinema, plus the promise of photos, features, and steel-smashing action strips inside.
